可以给我收据吗？

When to use

Request this after completing a purchase if you need a physical record of the transaction for business expenses, warranties, or potential returns.

How it works

This is a request structure involving a recipient and an object.

• 可以 (kě yǐ) - can/may (modal verb)
• 给 (gěi) - to give (verb)
• 我 (wǒ) - me (pronoun)
• 收据 (shōu jù) - receipt (noun)
• 吗 (ma) - question particle

Grammar

The structure 可以 + 给 + [Recipient] + [Object] + 吗? is used to ask if you can be given something. 给 acts as the main verb here, taking both an indirect object (我) and a direct object (收据).

Pronunciation

This phrase contains a chain of third tones: 可以给我. In natural speech, this usually groups as two pairs, where the first syllable of each pair rises to a second tone.

Notes

Essential for tracking expenses or if you need to make a return later.
